EXPRESZ YOURSELF-Where People Connect _ _ LOVE,OWNERSHIP,OBSESSION,INSECURITY,MENTAL ILLNESS?. _ These are the kind of question one tends to ask when you hear such stories, abuse, rape exist and when you hear the kind and the amount of horror one human inflicted on another is unbelievable, not easy to process nor comprehend and shocking to know and hear that someone did all of that in the name of love and one went through all of that in the name of love. _ Martha Matone(23) endured so much suffering and brutality at the hands of someone she loved. _ Link of her story: _ https://audiomack.com/Expresz-Yourself/song/loveobsessioncontrol _ _ #nomoresilence https://www.instagram.com/p/CCBjQT7j9gc/?igshid=cgeasjz59a96

_ One woman(Refuwe) broke her silence and we asked her to share her story. _ " As young as 28 years old I've endured so much pain,trauma,abuse and rape at the hands of someone I loved and trusted with my life. Red flags I saw yes, warnings yes I heard about them but I still continued with what I knew eventually will break me. A lot of them start all sweet,kind and generous. It started with a slap, a shove here and there than escalated to a kick, a punch and some threats. Your brain soothes you when the pain cuts deep telling yourself that it will get better in time but no it got worse yet I stayed. I'm not angry at him for abusing me am angry at myself for enduring it for that long. His obsession, constant stalking, threats and me being a prisoner in my own home are the daily poisons I endure. "Don't you have any remorse or mercy in you?, I always asked him and I never got an answer. How do you rape and claim you are making love?, now I'm a walking zombie because of him. Am thinking daily that I'll also go viral with the headline Rest In Peace even police officers don't want to get involved because they are cool with the guy all they asked me was to give him a chance instead, a chance to die I guess. I want it to stop and I know it will stop if only my cry for help was taken seriously. How I remember my sister always saying if it starts being exactly violent like it was between our parents GET OUT!. I'm still here waiting for my death day". https://www.instagram.com/p/CBd72aXjc_1/?igshid=6ifyvlin29nq

GO TIME! _ _ We can't seem to get enough of this place(Tlhabologang a township near Coligny).Thuto Tshwaraganelo(Non-profit Organisation) is at it again they went on to spread their wings further by adding fitness to their list of programmes. They somehow saw a need for such a programme in their community and September last year(2019) they launched the programme partnered with The Animal Movement by hosting a boot camp and the boot camp became a stepping stone for the programme. The programme started with over 15 members/participates but on its second month(October) it went down to 6 members but somehow that didn't drop the moral behind the whole reason or reasons of why the programme was started.

It being the first fitness programme in their community the enthusiasm this year(2020) is quite impressing from 6 members to over 25 members and right on the forefront of it our very own writer Paul Moeti is the instructor. He can't seem to sit back and not be involved in certain community developments there, from forming hip hop dance crews,to being part of another NPO called Tlhabologang Art Centre as a dancer and a choreographer and now volunteering as an instructor on Thuto Tshwaraganelo's fitness programme.

When it comes to exercises in Tlhabologang whether is sports or Aerobics or any form of exercising women are barely there or not there at all but surprisingly on that programme majority of people are women so it simply shows that women there in 2020 they are like"Is time to grab the bull by its horns,take charge and control of our health".

The programme went on to host another boot camp on the 4th of January(2020 Mega Burn) and since than is been all hands on deck Monday to Friday workouts. The journey is still fresh and they didn't keep it at home only but extended their hand to a boarding school(Bethel.High. School) where they launched the programme on the 4th of February you can say there's somewhat a coincidence or a thing about the 4th day of the month for them. We tagged along and to see the energy and enthusiasm the girls had it was breath taking because you rarely see such from High School juniors nor High School kids nowadays. 52 students participated and we gotta say this is going to be something amazing to see grow and we have to commend Thuto Tshwaraganelo,Paul Moeti,Thabo Makoa and Mrs Mosweu(teacher) for making it happen and also Palesa,Mmanoni and Niniwe for being assistant instructors for the day. Is humbly to see and know that the are teachers out there who not only care about a learner's academic work but also their well being and remembering that learners at the end of the day are kids so the should be extramural activities for them. _ _ Written by: Paul Moeti

TRIPLE THREAT We went back again to Tlhabologang(a township near Coligny) where we found Kealeboga Kgamanyane(17) a force to be reckoned with in the world of Athletics. Her path started similarly like any other kid, something that she did for fun and than it became something she took seriously"When I was a little girl I liked racing becoming number 1 all the time and I liked showing people that I can run" she said with laughter. In many schools sports or athletics once they go off season that's it,teachers no longer look at nor focus on learners who can run,do high jump,javelin etc nor encourage them until the following year when they kick start again. Individuals like Kealeboga school they extend their wings further and do what they do best all year long.

For a person who is under 18 who has achieved so much without a coach nor fitness trainer to have such dedication and discipline is remarkable.200 meters run,triple jump and high jump are her turfs(TRIPLE THREAT),in our books she's the first black under 18 female in her community to have 30 medals under her wings(Bronze,Silver and Gold).YES 30 medals!,we were astonished and we literally counted them to confirm the number. Kealeboga is not only a force to be reckoned with but she's also an inspiration and for the mere fact that in primary,secondary and high schools around Tlhabologang a lot of girls when it comes to sports or athletics the are nowhere to be found truly this makes her a BEAM OF LIGHT to all young girls around.

With no quit spirit she has,she aims to take things to the next level and eventually turning this into a career,adding to that she aims to take modeling as a career also so one day she will be one of those women who will make sweating look sexy and fitness an encouraged thing in black communities. Kealeboga Kgamanyane a beam to keep an eye on. Written by:Paul Moeti
